It’s easy to see why writer/director Francis Galluppi is already set to helm a new Evil Dead movie in the wake of his feature debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County. There’s a savage sense of humor and mean streak to Galluppi’s tense, dusty neo-noir western, even as it escalates the pressure cooker scenario. It helps that the film’s charismatic ensemble cast is filled with horror stalwarts, one that Galluppi fearlessly culls through with raucous glee, making for an insanely fun single-location thriller.

"Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary this week. Some "Star Wars" fans will doubtlessly be celebrating (and turning out to make "The Phantom Menace" a box office smash once more) and I won't begrudge them that. But sorry, I'm still not on board with prequel trilogy revisionism.
I was born the same year as "The Phantom Menace" premiered — it's the movie that introduced me to "Star Wars." I know my generation has largely accepted the prequels, but while I can appreciate their ideas, they're still too hindered by shoddy storytelling and flat acting for me to sign off on the execution.

Deep in the woods, a cabin holds a dark secret. A group of college students arrive for a weekend getaway, unaware they’ve stumbled upon an ancient evil. Now, the rumors are swirling once again in the cabin of the damned. The Evil Dead franchise, a twisted masterpiece of demonic possession and supernatural mayhem, is reportedly getting another entry.
Evil Dead spinoff in development
The series is a genre-bending blend of horror and dark humor, at the center of which stands Ash Williams, a reluctant hero armed with a chainsaw and a whole lot of grit. The original trilogy and the follow-up series “Ash vs Evil Dead” cemented his place in horror history and now fans are clamoring for him to make a return to the series he helped make so popular.

"Evil Dead" fans had to wait a full decade between movies following the release of Fede Álvarez's 2013 entry in the long-running horror franchise. It seems the powers that be have no interest in making anyone wait that long again. To that end, we've learned that Francis Galluppi ("The Last Stop in Yuma County") has been tapped to write and direct a new movie set within the universe of Sam Raimi's original 1981 horror classic.
According to Deadline, Galluppi developed the idea and brought it to Raimi's team. They sparked to it and now it's officially in the works. No plot details have been revealed but it is described as an original story set within the "Evil Dead" universe. There's also no word yet on casting or anything like that -- meaning, it's unclear if any familiar characters will be included in this new installment. Rami had this to say...

Exclusive: Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County) has been tapped to write and direct a new Evil Dead movie for Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures, sources tell Deadline.
The project is described only as an original story that Galluppi developed and brought to Raimi and team. No word on a plot or who all will be producing, as it’s early days here.
In a statement to Deadline, Rami did tell us, “Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence. He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
Evil Dead is, of course, Raimi’s horror franchise going back to 1981’s same-name film starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, a combatant of various supernatural entities. That pic grew into a trilogy, also spurring the creation...

There is a lot that can be and has been said about the dance scenes in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. Little of it has been positive in the 17(!) years since the movie’s release. Undeniably leaning into the director’s goofier comic sensibility, the film twice detours from its dour tone—which begins when Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) dons the bad juju vibes of an alien symbiote—in order to have a laugh-out-loud dance break. In one sequence near the end of the second act, and after Peter has permanently scarred and attempted to kill his Bff (James Franco), Maguire’s protagonist struts down the streets of New York City to James Brown. The strut then becomes a full on disco-like routine after he upgrades to an all-black suit.
Several minutes later, Spider-Man 3 further ups the camp factor by seeing symbiote-influenced Peter attempt to make Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst...

Ask Bruce Campbell, and he’ll tell you he’s “sick of over-trained heroes. I’m really bored with that. Guys that are just ripped to shreds and, you know, full of skills. That’s boring to me. Give me the mechanic that picks up a weapon, you know? Now I’m interested. That’s my hero. That could be me.”
Ash Williams of the Evil Dead franchise is that hero. Part of the lasting appeal of the best character Bruce Campbell has ever played is that the audience can see themselves in him, like if they were pressed into fighting an army of Deadites, they could take up the mantle, the chainsaw, the boomstick, and mow down wave after wave of the undead masses.
He is a man that should have been an A-List superstar and in the eyes of his fanbase he is…. which is all that really matters in the end.

Just over one year after the Deadite-slaying began, the developers of Evil Dead: The Game made the unfortunate announcement this past September that no new content will be created for the game. Additionally, a planned Nintendo Switch version of the game was scrapped.
The good news? The servers are still staying up “for the foreseeable future,” a promise the team has doubled down on here in early 2024. And more good news has arrived today…
The team announced, “Great news for our stalwart Survivors and dedicated Demons: you’ll earn Double Xp & Soul Points in all game modes starting today until… until when? Forever! As our thank you to the players, Double Xp & Soul Points are now switched on permanently.”
So hop on there, slay some Deadites, and get double the points for all matches… Forever!

In the build-up to the release of Evil Dead Rise (read our review right Here) last year, Evil Dead franchise rights holders Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert let it be known that they were already looking forward to producing more entries in the series, with Campbell revealing they were hoping to make a new sequel / spin-off every two or three years. It looks like they’re on track to do just that, as earlier this week it was announced that Sébastien Vaniček – who just made his feature directorial debut on the French horror film Vermin, a.k.a. Infested – has been hired to direct the next Evil Dead movie. Since Vermin happens to be nominated in two categories at this year’s César Awards, the website Konbini was able to catch up with Vaniček at a nominees’ dinner, and while talking with him they learned that he has...

In what could only be described as a match made in horror heaven (or should we say hell?), the Evil Dead franchise is gearing up to welcome a new chapter. As reported by Deadline, Sebastien Vanicek, a name that’s been sending ripples through the horror genre, has inked a deal with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and set him up as the co-writer and director of a new Evil Dead spin-off that promises to be as electrifying as its predecessors.
For those unfamiliar, the Evil Dead series has been a cornerstone of horror since its debut in the early ’80s. Created by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell as the chainsaw-wielding Ash Williams, the franchise has spanned films, TV series, and even video games, each installment drenched in the kind of camp, gore, and heart-pounding terror that fans can’t get enough of.

Exclusive: After signing rising filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, CAA has helped him win a coveted assignment, as the co-writer and director of a new spin-off of the Evil Dead franchise for Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures.
Details as to the film’s plot are under wraps. The Evil Dead is of course the horror comedy franchise created by Raimi, going back to 1981’s same-name film starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, a combatant of various supernatural entities. That pic grew into a trilogy, also spurring the creation of Starz TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead and a number of other projects over the years. The most recent, standalone film Evil Dead Rise from writer-director Lee Cronin, grossed more than $147M worldwide last year when it hit theaters via Warner Bros, after world premiering at SXSW.

Plot: Struggling prog-rock musician William Brown finds himself in a living nightmare when he accidentally kills Vlad, the neighbor from hell.
Review: We’ve all had neighbors that make too much noise and drive us crazy right? It almost feels like a rite of passage. The bass of their music pierces every corner of your mind as you’re just trying to live your life. Every footstep sounds like the stomping of an elephant. But what if, when trying to defuse the situation, you somehow manage to murder them? Destroy All Neighbors takes this concept, adds in some prog rock and wonderful creature FX, and gives us a fun time at the movies.

Horror movies are a transformative experience.They can elicit a wide range of emotions and reactions. They can make us feel an overwhelming sense of dread, terror, or fear. We love horror films. But you know what I love even more than horror movies? Horror video games.
A good horror game will give me the same rush as a movie. Something that doesn’t often happen, however, is the intersection of the two. Sure we have stuff like Dead By Daylight and Evil Dead: The Game but for the most part the era of video games based on movies has long passed. But that’s not to say there aren’t some absolute gems based on your favorite movies.
For this list I’ve tried to highlight some of the most enjoyable adaptations I’ve played and some underappreciated ones as well. Though some may be kind of a hassle...

The professional wrestler formerly known as WWE’s Dolph Ziggler, Nic Nemeth is back and making waves this week after an appearance in New Japan Pro Wrestling, and he’s also starring in a horror short that serves as a unique promo for the next phase of his career.
The 3-minute short is titled “Wanted Man,” and it was directed by genre filmmaker Maggie Levin. Nic Nemeth plays the titular “Wanted Man” in the bloody short, a Kurt Russell/Ash Williams type dealing with the zombie apocalypse.
The short film starts with Nemeth locked up in the back of a police car, and his day gets worse when a Sam Raimi-style Deadite invasion shows up to the party. From there, Nemeth heads into a bar where the fight gets really bloody, ending with one hell of a gory finishing move.
Watch “Wanted Man” below and stay tuned for more from Nic Nemeth in Njpw.

When we talk about classic TV shows from the '70s, it's hard not to mention "The Six Million Dollar Man." Airing for five seasons on ABC, the show focuses on astronaut Steve Austin who is gravely injured in a spaceship crash. He then undergoes a government surgery that replaces his body parts with machine parts, making him part man, part cyborg. With the new powers afforded him by these upgrades, Steve goes to work for the Office of Scientific Information, battling evil forces.
The show ran for 99 episodes and inspired six TV movies. Mark Wahlberg has even been attached to star in a big-screen adaptation of the show for years now, with the project stalling out at various points. But Lee Majors was the man responsible for originally bringing the character to life. 50 years removed from the show's premiere on network television, Majors and several other of the show's...

Behaviour Interactive’s global multiplayer horror video game Dead by Daylight celebrated its 7th anniversary earlier this year, and it’s still adding new content. In fact, the game is going to be receiving a major update on November 28th – as that’s the day the iconic killer doll Chucky is going to be added into the mix! The news of Chucky’s addition was broken by IGN, and they were even able to confirm that Brad Dourif is providing Chucky’s voice for the game. Behaviour informed them that players will be able to customize Chucky’s appearance with the Good Gal outfit – which will turn him into his bride Tiffany Valentine, voiced by Jennifer Tilly.
IGN notes, “As you’d expect, Chucky is adept at sneaking around the map, and he has a Slice & Dice ability that lets him lunge at his larger would-be victims in order to more efficiently close the gap.

How the heck do you rank the "Evil Dead" movies?
No horror franchise has taken bigger swings, with entries ranging from brutal, unrelenting horror to straight-up goofball slapstick. No horror franchise has proven more consistent in its inconsistency, with each entry showcasing an anarchic streak a mile wide. If an "Evil Dead" movie isn't trying to startle you out of your skin with transgressive intensity, it's trying to make you giggle like a loon. And sometimes, it tries to make you giggle like a loon using that transgressive intensity. Director Sam Raimi made it clear with his original three movies that there are no hard and fast rules in this universe -- and other filmmakers have gleefully stepped in and followed suit. The only thing that truly defines an "Evil Dead" movie is that it needs to be extreme in one way or another.

It was heartbreaking when the copyright dispute between original Friday the 13th producer/director Sean S. Cunningham and screenwriter Victor Miller came up and brought any further development of the extremely cool Friday the 13th video game to a screeching halt. Now here’s another franchise video game heartbreaker: the folks at Saber Interactive have announced that they won’t be developing any new content for Evil Dead: The Game, and plans to bring the game to Nintendo Switch have been abandoned.
Here’s the announcement:

No information was given on exactly why Saber had decided to set aside any further development of the game. It would be odd if there are licensing issues, because the rights to the overall Evil Dead franchise seem to be rather clear cut: they’re owned by franchise creator Sam Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and star Bruce Campbell.

In the wake of the Evil Dead franchise returning to theaters earlier this year with Evil Dead Rise, the horror-comedy TV series “Ash vs. Evil Dead” is coming to Hulu for Halloween.
All three seasons of “Ash vs. Evil Dead” will begin streaming on Hulu on October 1, 2023, we’ve learned, part of Hulu’s massive horror lineup for the Halloween season!
Thirty episodes of “Ash vs. Evil Dead” aired between 2015 and 2018, with the premiere directed by Sam Raimi himself. The series proved to be a massive treat for fans of the franchise, as it returned to the timeline of the original trilogy and brought Bruce Campbell back as Ash Williams. The series also introduced brand new characters to fall in love with.
In the three-season series, “Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), the chainsaw-wielding, wisecracking antihero of The Evil Dead films, is back for more gore-filled adventure.”

Activision is once again dipping into horror for the upcoming Halloween season with “The Haunting” for Call of Duty. A few years ago, we got Ghostface dropping into Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. And coming up on this year’s Halloween update, fans will be treated to crossovers from the likes of Spawn, Evil Dead, Hellsing, and more!
The whole thing kicks off after September 27, when Season 6 arrives for Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone. The skins will also be available for Modern Warfare III when it launches.
The Haunting event for Call of Duty officially begins at mid-season, which includes Halloween-themed maps, modes, and events. That includes four new Multiplayer maps, and a Battle Pass “stocked with devilishly entertaining new Operators and Weapon Blueprints, and more.”

Over the years, Behaviour Interactive has collaborated with a number of horror franchises for Dead by Daylight and they announced today that Alien will officially be coming to the horror video game.
Dead by Daylight: Alien will introduce Ellen Ripley as the newest survivor alongside the Xenomorph as the latest killer. “Alien has been and continues to be one of the best sci-fi stories ever told – and to be able to collaborate with 20th Century Games on bringing this story into Dead by Daylight is a privilege for all of us at Behaviour Interactive,” said Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive.
The new map will be set against the eerie backdrop of the Nostromo wreckage with a few Dead by Daylight twists. The Xenomorph has an added advantage as it can enter and exit through tunnels underneath the map that only it can access. “Creating the Xenomorph’s...

The Bubba Ho-Tep episode of Wtf Happened to This Adaptation? was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian. Here is the text of Hatfield’s script:
Sometimes you find out that your favorite movies were adaptations of novels. While everyone knows when they are getting a Stephen King adaptation, a lot of the time you won’t know that a movie is based on an existing story until you get hit with it in the credits. Bubba Ho-Tep (watch it Here) is one of those properties. All of the advertising and certainly the feeling of the movie is that it’s a Bruce Campbell and Don Coscarelli movie, but the short story was written by Joe R. Landsdale.

Dynamite Entertainment has released a ton of Army of Darkness comic books over the years, but with the upcoming series Army of Darkess: Forever they’re going back to the source: this comic book is a direct sequel to director Sam Raimi’s 1993 film (watch it Here)! And this sequel comes with a bonus in that it continues on from both endings of the film.
While the theatrical cut of Army of Darkness found our time traveling hero Ash back in his own time, working at S-Mart (and fighting a Deadite in the aisles), the director’s cut of the film ends with Ash being dropped into a post-apocalyptic future.
Here’s the information on Army of Darkness: Forever #1: The story picks up immediately after the events of the beloved film, jumping between three fun timelines. The Techno Army of Darkness of 2093, the S-Mart aisles of 1993, and the middle ages chaos of Castle Kandar,...

Nicolas Cage is being added to Behaviour Interactive’s global multiplayer horror video game Dead by Daylight as a playable character – and while the Dlc that includes Cage won’t be launched until July 25th, he is already a selectable character in the game’s public test build on Steam. While we wait for the full Dlc launch, YouTube Syrekx has gone ahead and posted a video that contains about 10 minutes of lines that Nicolas Cage himself recorded for the Cage video game character, and you can listen to those lines in the embed at the bottom of this article.

Lee Cronin’s brand new installment Evil Dead Rise just slashed its way onto Max over the weekend, but it’s not the only film in the Evil Dead saga that you can stream on Max right now.
In fact, All Five Films in the Evil Dead franchise are now streaming on Max, which makes Max – formerly HBO Max – the Only place you can stream the entire bloody saga!
The franchise of course includes…
The Evil Dead (1981) Evil Dead II (1987) Army of Darkness (1993) Evil Dead (2013) Evil Dead Rise (2023)
It all began with Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead, the original horror classic that introduced the world to Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) and the Deadites he would go on to spend his entire life battling. After being forced to massacre his friends in the woods, Campbell’s Ash returned for Evil Dead II in 1987, a sequel that brought horror-comedy insanity to the forefront.

Welcome to Camp Nightmare, where we're about to embark on a wild adventure through the wacky world of campy horror movies. The moon casts an eerie glow on the haunted cabins, and the rustling leaves whisper tales of horror. Gather 'round the campfire, fellow thrill-seekers, as we invite you into the twisted world of camp. Not summer camp, but camp camp. These delectably cheesy flicks have achieved legendary status, eliciting uproarious laughter and spine-tingling cringes in equal measure.
Before we delve into the world of campy horror movies though, we should probably answer the question: What is camp? It's the B-movie that's loud and proud. The intentionally over-the-top horror movie that winks at the audience, saying, “Sure, we might be cheesy and predictable, but isn't that part of the bloody charm?” Camp is a whirlwind of blood-splattered delight, where rubber monsters and questionable dialogue collide in a gleeful explosion of entertainment.

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the animated series “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy,” which aired from 2001 through 2007 on Cartoon Network.
Billy, Mandy, and Grim were first introduced in Maxwell Atoms’ “Grim & Evil,” a series where they shared the bill with “Evil Con Carne.” The latter followed the adventures of Hector Con Carne, a wealthy playboy whose body is destroyed in a tremendous explosion. His only surviving organs are his brain and stomach, which have been placed in jars and attached to a circus bear named Boskov. He’s aided by the evil henchman Skarr.
“Grim & Evil” only lasted 30 episodes, but the titular pint-sized hell-raisers went on to star in their own successful spin-off: “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.” The series stars a (somewhat) moronic young boy named Billy (Peter Horvitz) and his devious megalomaniacal friend Mandy (the legendary Grey Delisle...

The following contains major spoilers for Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise (2023).
Of the many horror franchises, few are as creatively violent as The Evil Dead. Sam Raimi’s 1981 original garnered an Nc-17 rating for “substantial horror violence and gore” and Stephen King described the low-budget indie as “the most ferociously original horror film of the year.” The film follows Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), his sister, and three friends as they travel to a cabin in the remote woods and accidentally summon demons with an incantation from the Book of the Dead.
In 2013, Fede Alvarez directed the fourth franchise installation, Evil Dead, a remake/sequel following Mia (Jane Levy), her brother, and three friends in a similarly doomed cabin. Ten years later, the Deadites have returned to the big screen with Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise which tells a stand-alone story about a similar Book of the Dead. Found...

Instead, let's consider a new sensation in Evil Dead Rises, the fifth film in the horror franchise Sam Raimi birthed at the dawn of the 80s. Indeed, while these deadite-infested movies have strayed away from detailing the adventures of Ash Williams – check out the TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead for more of that – the original trilogy continues to have a special place in fans' hearts.

There’s a kind of shaggy glory to Evil Dead: Sam Raimi’s demonic scary movie series spawned from the writer/director’s triumphant indie horror marvel from 1981. Starring childhood friend Bruce Campbell and shot in the Tennessee wilderness with next to no budget, the inaugural outing with Raimi’s Necronomicon (aka Book of the Dead) and its flesh-ripping Deadites — also known by the original film’s title, “The Evil Dead” — established a formula for four more films with immeasurable influence on skin-peeling, tendon-snapping, chainsaw-revving pop culture as we know it.
The first film sees final guy Ash Williams (Campbell), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), and friends Scott (Richard DeManincor) and Shelly (Theresa Tilly) heading out for a stay at a remote cabin. Once there, a cursed book and tape summons a demonic presence that slowly begins to feast on the souls of the unlucky travelers one by one.

The Evil Dead franchise is a horror classic that has stood the test of time. From the early days of Sam Raimi’s low-budget gore-fest to the more recent adaptations, the franchise has maintained a level of quality and consistency that is rarely found in the horror genre. With all the films in the franchise being something special in their own right, it’s time to rank them in order of greatness. So grab your boomstick and chainsaw, and let’s take a look at every film in the Evil Dead franchise and see which one reigns supreme.

This post contains spoilers for Lee Cronin's "Evil Dead Rise."
The "Evil Dead" franchise epitomized the cabin in the woods horror trope in visceral and uncompromising ways. When Lee Cronin decided to craft a fresh, equally demented installment to keep the franchise going, he shifted the setting to a cramped L.A. apartment where a family unit experience horrors beyond their imagination. Apart from this marked shift in focus, Cronin's latest installment puts women under the spotlight by letting them be as emotionally complex and frighteningly scary as possible, with a story that puts these characters directly in the heart of gory mayhem.
Cronin's decision to veer in a fresh direction leads to a gripping apartment horror with a family forced to tear one another apart. Although the film relies on established franchise tropes, including tapes that spell out demon-summoning incantations and standard Deadite behavior, "Evil Dead Rise" situates...

Consider the chainsaw.
A piece of motorized machinery that moves sharp, metal teeth along a chain, rapidly cutting its way through just about anything you could reasonably want to cut. To many, the chainsaw is a piece of gardening equipment, perfectly suited to chop down trees. But to horror filmmakers, the chainsaw is a weapon of mass tissue destruction, a gory death-dealing device wielded by maniacs and, occasionally, maniacs heroically fighting those other maniacs.
The irony is that horror filmmakers are a little bit closer to the chainsaw's original intention. Invented in the 1780s by doctors John Aitken and James Jeffray, the device was originally intended to saw through human tissue. But in a well-intentioned, medical way. Not in a creepy "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" way.
And yet, by putting "Chainsaw" in the title (or "Chain Saw" if we're being specific), Tobe Hooper's incredible horror classic pretty much claimed chainsaws as part of its identity.

Lily Sullivan in ‘Evil Dead Rise’ (Photo © 2022 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc)
The bloodthirsty demons are back and this time they’re going after a family in a rundown high-rise in the 2023 entry of the campy Evil Dead horror film franchise, Evil Dead Rise.
Beth (Lily Sullivan), a roadie who’s just received some surprising news, heads home to visit her estranged sister, Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland), and Ellie’s children in Los Angeles. Upon arriving she discovers her sister packing up and getting ready to leave their apartment because the building’s been condemned.
Ellie sends her three kids – Danny (Morgan Davies), Bridget (Gabrielle Echols), and young Kassie (Nell Fisher) – out to get pizza, and just as they make it back to the parking garage, the city experiences a massive earthquake. The ground cracks and a large hole opens up in their building.

The bloodthirsty demons are back and this time they’re going after a family in a rundown high-rise in the 2023 entry of the campy Evil Dead horror film franchise, Evil Dead Rise.
Beth (Lily Sullivan), a roadie who’s just received some surprising news, heads home to visit her estranged sister, Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland), and Ellie’s children in Los Angeles. Upon arriving she discovers her sister packing up and getting ready to leave their apartment because the building’s been condemned.

Imagine Jason Voorhees wreaking havoc in the aisles of a Crystal Lake S-Mart. The only thing standing between him and the gruesome murders of the teenage employees working there is Ash Williams. Who also works there. Housewares! What a scene! A scene that never happened. Actually, it did happen in both a comic book and a script for a movie we never received. Oh, and Freddy Krueger was there too. Using Jason to gain access to the Necronomicon so that he could read its passages and become more powerful than ever.
There’s so, so much more to Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash and it’s all been covered by Bloody Disgusting before. The reason I bring it up today? Were it not for the alleged unwillingness of competing studios to have their character be the loser of the three way fisticuffs, it totally would have worked. Not only do I believe Freddy vs.

This post contains light spoilers for Evil Dead Rise.
Since the late 1980s, one of the key characteristics of a budding cinephile was the ability to explain the relationship between 1981’s The Evil Dead and 1987’s Evil Dead II. Where the first movie introduced the world to director Sam Raimi‘s dynamic style, as well as star Bruce Campbell‘s unique charisma, its independent production meant that it only rose to the level of a cult hit. To expand the audience, Evil Dead II opens not by picking up where the first left off, with Campbell’s beleaguered Ash Williams potentially possessed, but by remaking the first movie, at least in its opening act.
Whatever explanation fans gave to smooth over the transition between the first two movies, it set a precedent for everything that followed. Evil Dead would be about gore and Three Stooges gags, not strict continuity. 1992’s...

For the first time in a long time, moviegoers have the chance to see an "Evil Dead" movie on the big screen, as "Evil Dead Rise" is finally in theaters. The movie was originally destined for HBO Max but Warner Bros. wisely pivoted to a theatrical release once they saw what director Lee Cronin delivered. He's successfully revived the franchise, and clearly has lots of love for the earlier entries. Case in point, there are quite a few Easter eggs that viewers can be on the lookout for. So much so that multiple viewings will be required to catch 'em all.
Cronin addressed the Easter egg topic at the Q&a following the film's premiere at SXSW in Austin, Texas. An audience member asked about his relationship to the franchise before winding up in the director's chair, and he talked about the...
